As in…it’s as easy as doing it from the comfort of your home (or anywhere you are) and even without internet.

Before you start making the wrong guesses…all we’ve been describing is the almighty “USSD”!

According to Wikipedia, USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data), sometimes referred to as “Quick Codes” or “Feature codes”, is a protocol used by GSM cellular telephones to communicate with the service provider’s computers. USSD can be used for WAP browsing, prepaid callback service, mobile-money services, location-based content services, menu-based information services, and as part of configuring the phone on the network.

That one na story!

Simply put, you can now fund your NairaBET account with a dedicated code dialed on your mobile phone, just as you now load credit or transfer funds via mobile, instead of internet or ATM. The interaction between you and your bank will be via the code and text messages.

However, this currently only works for GTBank customers (other banks coming soon).
